TOP guard Mark Nonoy is now officially with Terrafirma.
Nonoy and Dyip management came to terms on a two-year deal, according to his handler Marvin Espiritu of the Espiritu-Manotoc Basketball Management (EMBM).
COLUMN: Mark Nonoy, Iloilo Royals settle contract row amicably
The 24-year-old native finally made it to Asia's oldest professional league after he was formally released by MPBL ballclub Iloilo United.
The Royals bombed out and failed to make the ongoing playoffs of the home-and-away league.
Nonoy was a first round pick of the Dyip at No. 10 in the last draft, the same rights the franchise acquired from Barangay Ginebra in exchange for the No. 3 overall pick, aside from being a part of the blockbuster trade involving Christian Standhardinger, Stanley Pringle, Isaac Go, and Rookie of the Year Stephen Holt.
But Nonoy, who played for University of Santo Tomas and La Salle in college, wasn't able to sign right away with Terrafirma, as he still had a live contract with Iloilo that ran until the end of the MPBL season.
The Royals concluded their campaign after failing to advance to the playoffs.
The addition of Nonoy gives the Dyip fresh legs in their backcourt that has been ravaged by injuries to Juami Tiongson and, later on, Pringle.
Terrafirma ended its stint in the Governors' Cup with a 1-9 record.
